Rev. Robert A. Wild, S.J.University
President

Robert
A. Wild, S.J., Marquette’s 22nd president, provided leadership during a period
of significant expansion on the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, including
Marquette's jump to the prestigious BIG EAST Conference.

During Wild’s tenure over 40 endowed athletic scholarships were established.
Men's and women's soccer and men's golf became fully-funded programs. Wild also helped
MU strengthen its athletic offerings with the addition of men's and women's lacrosse as
NCAA Division I sports, both slated to begin competition in 2013.

Wild played a vital role in the fundraising for numerous facility upgrades, including
the Al McGuire Center, completed in 2003, and a major renovation of Valley Fields.

The
1936 football team capped one of the most successful seasons in the program's
history with an appearance in the inaugural Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day, 1937.
The squad began the season with seven straight victories and was ranked as high as No.
4 fourth in the Associated Press Top-20 poll.

The Golden Avalanche was led by head coach Frank
J. Murray, the longest tenured football coach in program history and a member of
both the M Club and College Football Halls of Fame. All-American left halfback Raymond
"Buzz" Buivid led a high-powered Marquette offense and finished third in
Heisman Trophy balloting that season. Buivid was joined in the offensive backfield by
the Guepe twins, Al and Art. Fullback Ward
Cuff was also a key cog in the Marquette offense before he went on to star with the
New York Giants in a hall of fame NFL career. Cuff, along with Ray Sonnenberg, anchored
the Marquette defense.

The Golden Avalanche ended its campaign against Sammy Baugh and TCU, in a game billed
as a duel between the nation's two premiere passers. At the Texas State Fair Grounds,
Art Guepe scored the lone touchdown for Marquette on a 60-yard punt return in a 16-6
loss to the TCU Horned Frogs.
